Hello Ulrich,
As said on IRC, these appear to be the same problems we have when running GNU/Hurd in Bochs. I was looking at it but don't have time at the moment. You can check http://khazad.dyndns.org/gnu-hurd for an installed GNU system on which to reproduce it, and a list of the encoutered problems. If you're using Bochs, there's a builtin debugger. see http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook/user/x511.htm for more information.
